Thank you!  My beta and I have worked very hard to keep the characters as true as possible.  I truly appreciate my comments!  Thank you so much for review.

Thank you.  I'm so glad you are enjoying it!

Thanks.  Chapter 3 is currently with my beta.  I hope to have it ready to post soon.

Thank you.

Thank you!  Thanks so much for spreading the news.  I really appreciate it.  I'm really glad you're enjoying it so much.

Oh my.  *blushing furiously*  Thank you.

You're right, of course, given everyone's responses, I should post this as a comedy.  I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying it.

Thank you.  I'm hoping to have Chapter 3 up soon.

Thanks.

I think Poor Hermione is rather offended!  But you're right, at least he hasn't had a physical response, yet :)  I hope you're not too disappointed with the next chapter.

I must've given the wrong impression; I highly doubt I'll be disappointed!  Besides, it's your story, not mine ... I'm just along for the ride and enjoying the scenery immensely.

Thank you.  I'm so glad you like it.  I'm hoping to have the next chapter up soon.

Thanks.  The next chapter is with the beta at the moment, but we're certainly trying to get it ready quickly.

I'm glad it's turning out so well.  I was really worried when I started collecting quotes.  Snape and I will both get a break in the next chapter though, thankfully, but don't worry, the curtain hasn't dropped on Shakespeare quite yet. 

LOL!  Sorry.  I hope I don't disappoint when it comes to Minerva's response.  It's pretty minimal.  Thanks for reviewing.

LOL.  To be honest, I'd never read the sonnets until I sat down to start writing this fanfic.  Who would have thought that fanfiction would have me reading Shakespeare!!  It was definitely worth it though.  Thanks for reviewing.

Yes, if you read within the original context, it is a bit weird, but isn't it so like Snape to twist something to suit his own purposes?  I am glad you are enjoying the majority of the story though.

I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying it. 

*sits down before she faints*  I absolutely adore your stories.  I can't believe you're actually reading one of mine!  Thank you, thank you, thank you for reviewing!

...If you faint, you won't be able to write...and in this form, I have claws with which to wake you up again.*tail flick*...Got it?*purrrrrrrrrrnuzzle*~Lotm

I'm trying this again.  For some reason, TPP doesn't want to accept my response.  Thank you so much for reviewing.  I'm so glad you are enjoying the story.

Thanks.  I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Thanks for the encouragment.  The story is completely written so the chapters will be posted as soon as I get them back from my beta! 

I'm so glad you are enjoying it so far.  I hope the have the next chapter back from my beta and posted soon. 

LOL.  I'm so glad you liked it.  There will be plenty more of Snape-ish grousing yet to come :D

I don't want to give away too much of the storyline, but unfortunately for our poor Severus, it's going to be awhile before he can say anything to Hermione under his own free will :D

I'm so glad you are enjoying it!  I hope the remaining chapters will live up to your expectations :D  Thank you so much for all your encouragement.
